I'm not talking about the means in which Boise won the game, I'm talking about the cause and effect. Boise basically ended a team's season after week 1 which had MNC expectations. Clearly that fucked up their psyche going into James Madison.stuckinia wrote:And I do not think it was a case of being demoralized.

You're drunk posting aren't you? Do me a favor and have your neighbors watch us this weekend and they can take notes on how to beat Colorado.Papa Willie wrote:Now where in the fuck did I say that? Let's put it this way - they could probably beat OU right now.
All teams go through different phases in a season. Most teams don't react that well to the road - certainly the further they travel.
Though I'm sure a lot of you didn't watch it, the Oregon/Tennessee game was a defining moment (IMO) for both teams. Oregon traveled across the country. That automatically fucks them up. UT is nothing but Freshmen. In the first quarter, UT absolutely dominated that game. They were riding higher than DiS over a pack of kiddie-doodling police. Normally, a road team like that is fucked if they get jumped on like that. It's not that big a deal in the NFL, but college is a different story. Obviously, Oregon came back and kicked their shit out. They did it again to Stanford (who is definitely a Top 10 team IMO). Had UT been able to hold off the Ducks, god only knows where they'd be now. That game mentally fucked UT for the year. They've shown some blasts of good playing, but they're too young to get the job done. On the other hand, it made the Ducks confidence shoot through the roof.
That's a lot of it. Hell - that's most of it.
I think Mgo made a statement of something like "you know how teams can do from week to week". He was right.
I'd be willing to bet that if OU were to play FSU again AT OU tomorrow, you can forget about OU winning that one by 30. No fucking way. FSU is playing much better ball right now.
Teams can play badly at one point of a season and turn it the fuck around, too. I think you know that.
Finishing off the season with a win over Tebow helped.Papa Willie wrote: I don't think UM has recovered from that game even to this day!
MDA was readily available in Madison throughout the 70s. I believe they called it the "love drug".Screw_Michigan wrote:I didn't know an MDA was even available, nevertheless through a business school, fatso.
